The interviewer is interested in seeing if the environment at Electronic Arts is what you need to be successful. The best response is that you can thrive in a startup or an established company; however, that may not be the case.
Think of the pros and cons of each. Working for an established company may feel more secure; however, it may also be more challenging to work your way up. Then, in a startup, you may have a lot of creative freedom, but the pay may not be as lucrative.
Discuss with the interviewer the type of environment you are most comfortable with, remain positive, and draw in parts of the culture at Electronic Arts in your response.

"I have worked in both a startup environment, as well as a few highly established companies. Although I appreciate the organization that comes with a more established business, the energy of a startup drives me. I can succeed in either since I am self-driven; however, I can say that the energetic environment at Electronic Arts speaks to me."

I worked in a start-up like company and a few bigger ones. In the start-up, it was nice to have responsibilities, and the team members got very close. I loved that. But I saw it in bigger companies too. What matters most is the energy that the project and the team members can give, that is what drives me to be at my best, and I know that an environment like EA offers to work with the best and a place where I could grow with more security on a longer-term.

It seems you know very well the balance that will work best for you. Your approach to this question is fair, and you are highly complementary to EA at the same time.
